Select Committee on Housing, Planning and Local Government
Planning and Development Bill 2023: Committee Stage (Resumed)

I move amendment No. 644:
In page 212, line 3, after “concerned” to insert the following: “(either individually or in combination with any plan or other project within the meaning of the Habitats Directive)”.
These provisions relate to the steps to be taken following the outcome of a screening for appropriate assessment. The proposed amendments are technical in nature. They provide for a change in syntax, with the phrase "(either individually or in combination with any plan or other project within the meaning of the Habitats Directive)" being repositioned directly after the phrase "development concerned". The amendments will not affect the substance of the provisions and are intended to make the provision more readable. Screening for appropriate assessment is provided for in a number of places throughout the Bill, which is the reason for having numerous similar amendments.
